- Now this is just a guess that Christopher died in this county. He appears on both 1830-40 census records b. circa 1795 and ages of his children is circa same census records from same county.
Now does he have any connection to Christopher Wilburn who was the son of Elizabeth Plum Wilburn
and her unkown spouse? My own hunch is yes!! No proof here. But Lewis Wilburn b. abt 1770 who later moved with his family to Carter KY hadthree sons born between 1795 and 1800. Wilkes Co NC census records. Healso had one daughter named Lucinda. Is there a connection? Could thisChristopher be a son of Lewis? And therefore brother of Lewis Jr. whoalso lived in Carter KY and in which family the younger Christopher livedwith at age 3 in 1850? Possible, but not close to proving...Still,
My hunch is that this older Christopher is probably grandfather of Christopher Wilburn who appears at age three in the 1850 census records living in Carter KY with the family of Lewis Wilburn and his wife Elizabth Fitzpatrick and their children. I am basing this quess, uponsome VERY loose info provided by the descendants of Christopher Wilburn.According to this version, Christopher's mother Elizabeth Plum Wilburn remarried following the death of her unk Wilburn spouse. The family believes she married someone whose last name was Layton or Lawson or something similiar. The exact name was lost to the ages. Could they be thinking of the surname Layman?
Now please note, that in 1850 (census records from Owen IN. show OneLucinda Wilburn( b. 1830) in KY was living with Lewis Layman and hisfamily. Lewis layman was born in 1815 in OH and lived next door to theSkidmores. Please note,
Also note that the Christopher Wilburn b. circa 1795 lived next to Lewis Johnston, Rueben Johnston, and Joseph French in 1840. And that Libby Wilburn (b. circa 1815) listed as widow in Owen IN in 1840 was noted asliving with women generation older along w ith her three children. I suspect that this line of Wilburns came out of Giles, VA, where they mixed and married into the Johnston and French families in Giles.
Just quessing at this but feel this is somehow the connection...Vikky Wilburn Anders Nov 1998
